Above the city to the north-east, the Theresienstein is an unusually fine English-style landscape park that has grown over two centuries from a single citizens' association. Inside its forty hectares you will find the botanical garden, a small zoo, a maze, two ponds, a memorial chapel, and a quiet hilltop restaurant.
The viewing platform on the eastern flank looks east into Saxony — on a clear day, into Vogtland and beyond. The park is open year-round; the botanical garden has restricted hours in winter. It is twenty minutes' walk from the city centre, or a short bus ride.
